SUMMARY

- When Tanwar was a student at a local technical university, he noticed that

his favorite childhood hangouts were starting to disappear. Clean water levels
are declining throughout India.
- Tanwar started off by giving lessons to kids from his village, later, he told
the students to come with their parents every Sunday to a special place where
he’d facilitate a discussion and suggest methods to conserve water.
- In 2015, Ramveer and his team of volunteers removed all the garbage from
the first pond. Not only did they clean it, they also planted some trees around
it.
- Dozens of lakes and ponds have been restored throughout India because of
volunteers’ effort.
- The state authorities then helped Ramveer set up something called
“Groundwater Army” organizations in each district of the state.
- Another campaign the young Indian environmentalist started is called
#SelfieWithPond.
- Felix Finkbeiner, a 21-year-old from Germany, is the founder of a global
youth movement called Plant for the Planet. Its 75,000 climate ambassadors
have planted a total of over 15 billion saplings worldwide!
- Another person is Greta Thunberg. In the summer of 2018, when a crazy
heatwave struck northern Europe and caused forest fires, she took a handmade
banner and sat on the stairs of the Swedish Parliament building all by herself.
